How We Invest
Responsible investment is the cornerstone of everything we do at Cresco Capital Services. As a specialist asset and investment manager within forests and land, we recognise the unique role these resources play in tackling climate change, preserving biodiversity, and creating long-term value for both investors and society.
Our annual Responsible Investment Report outlines how we integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations across our portfolios, from responsible forestry and afforestation projects to renewable energy initiatives. It highlights our measurable impact, including carbon sequestration and other environmental indicators, and how we ensure responsible governance and strong partnerships.

UNPRI Signatory
At Cresco Capital Services, we recognise that investing in forests and land carries both an economic responsibility and an environmental one. By being a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), we commit to embedding sustainability and accountability at the heart of our investment strategies.
The UNPRI provides a global framework for responsible investment, grounded in six core principles that encourage transparency, stewardship, and the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into decision-making.
For Cresco, joining UNPRI is a natural step. Forest and land investments have a direct impact on climate resilience, biodiversity, and local communities. By aligning with UNPRI, we strengthen our ability to:
- Ensure that ESG considerations are systematically integrated into our investment process.
- Enhance long-term value creation for our stakeholders.
- Contribute positively to global sustainability goals, particularly in combating climate change.
- Demonstrate accountability and transparency to our investors and partners.
At Cresco Capital Services, we are proud to stand alongside a global community committed to driving positive change through investment.
PAI Statement and Sustainability Related Disclosures
Cresco Capital Services is a registered Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) under the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.
According to Article 4 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) (EU) 2019/2088, financial market participants must disclose whether they consider principal adverse impacts (PAI) of their investment decisions on sustainability factors.
As a small AIFM with fewer than 500 employees, Cresco Capital Services is not required to prepare and publish an annual PAI statement. At present, we do not consider PAI indicators on a consolidated level, as doing so would require reporting resources that are disproportionate to our size and business model.
Nevertheless, we recognise the importance of sustainability and closely monitor regulatory developments as well as the availability of reliable ESG data. We continuously assess whether our resources and scale would justify adopting PAI reporting in the future.
This decision does not affect our obligations to provide the required product-level disclosures under SFDR Articles 8 and 9, including information on the environmental and social characteristics or sustainable investment objectives of our funds. The product-level disclosures can be accessed here.
